HUD treats 30% of gross household income as the cost-burden line. We do not split ACS median rent into 1-bed vs 2-bed — that table is all occupied rental units. Method.

Family streets
Crime is MPD Part I reports per 1,000 ACS residents — not a judgment of who lives here. Home and rent figures are ACS medians, not live MLS. Read the method.
On the ground
What it is like to live here, beyond the scores.
Mansions on the hill above the Walker Art Center. Quieter than the Wedge, still inner, still a walk to the lakes. It is old Minneapolis money in official neighborhood clothing — elm canopy, stone houses, a ridge that looks at downtown.
You will not find a party street. You will find the sculpture garden and a short walk to Uptown’s restaurants. Weight safety and family. Cost is the barrier, not the commute.
